Aimed at use in outdoor or studio interview settings, DPA Microphones’ d:facto Interview Microphone features an omnidirectional 2006V capsule, based on DPA’s original 2006, but with sensitivity adjusted down 12dB to accommodate typical interview mic and wireless handle sensitivities. This omnidirectional pattern is preferred for handheld interview use because precision is less critical and native reductions in wind and handling noise, which is further lowered in the mic by a rubber suspension mount built into the d:facto head.

When paired with the recently-launched DPA d:fine In-Ear Broadcast Headset Microphone, the d:facto Interview Microphone can be used in the studio by a show host for guest interviews and audience commentary, while maintaining a connection to backstage producers or off-site colleagues via the d:fine’s in-ear monitor and mic. The d:facto Interview is also intended for solo use for on-the-street interviews in ENG applications.
